Good Evening

Very busy day for me today. I haven't done any laundry for over a week so five loads washed, dried and folded later.....:eek: Oh how I hate folding laundry and pairing socks. There must have been close to 100 pairs :o and I still have all the bedding to do
As well as catching up with all the other things I've let slip last week. I think I won though

And we've had a meltdown from DS2 because someone (as yet undisclosed) ate the last slice of the Anniversary cake and it was his. We had tears and everything. Last seen examining other people hands, faces and bedrooms for traces of crumbs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

OMG - how on earth have you managed to go so long without doing the laundry - when we had a houseful, only 5 of us most days I did at least 2 loads - more usually 3 loads - house full of wet washing from October onwards.

MY eldest was dreadful for walking off with whatever she could lay her hands on - I always had to hide my crisps or chocolate from her. We have only recently started having things like cake and biscuits in the house - she never seemed to have any idea of what was communal so anyone could help themselves and what belonged to one person only.

Check in random places like the fridge, cupboards, microwave, bathroom cupboard, under the sink, bathroom bin, car, garage, garden, recycling bins, bedroom bins, inside pillow cases, inside tins of heroes/roses/quality street/celebrations

You can tell I've lost things in random places

We lost a camera case for about 6 months - finally found it in a wellie boot! :rotfl:

And a pair of glasses were lost for three weeks and turned up in the odd sock bag!

Also going into total and utter meltdown made me think

Who can remember going into meltdown over something and what were the consequences.

I had a similar-ish experience about a year ago; sent an item by Recorded Delivery, the buyer contacted me to say they hadn't received it (they were really nice about it), I got in touch with Royal Mail (by phone) and they told me it had been left at another house, described where it was and even emailed a photo the postie had taken of the house, I told the purchaser the exact address (using Street View) and they went to collect it; very naughty of the people who accepted delivery, though ... obvious they were hoping to keep it:mad:

Surely the postie should have retrieved it :eek::eek: I wouldn't want to have to go to a strangers house for a parcel that should have been delivered to me.

Youngest son was home for a few days in the summer and as it was dry and we had his brawn he volunteered (!) to turn the compost heap over - empty the bins out, rough uncomposted stuff back in, sieve the rest etc
So the 1st bin was tiptoed up and almost straight away he found a set of house keys - no idea why keys were in the compost bin or how they had got there - lots of theories put forward, lots of discussion but no certain answer.

Weeks later OHs admitted it was him who had put them there before we went away at Easter - forgotten all about it by the time we got back a week later and remembered until after bin tipping day months later - so who ever in their right mind thinks the compost bin is a good hiding pace for keys ......

Oh it's been awful mhoc. I could have honestly cried at the odd sock pile I have OH who insists on wearing 2 pairs of socks even though his boots aren't army boots any more and DD who very strangely is layering up with knickers....tights....and another pair of knickers :eek: who knows why? Yes she's wearing 2 pairs of knickers with tights inbetween :eek:

Im glad it's bedding tomorrow. that's easy
